Taylor Swift helps fans against bullying

Pop star Taylor Swift says she tries to help her fans tackle bullying.

The 23-year-old gives her fans a chance to meet her after her shows, and she then discusses issues they face, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It happened to me, and that's why as an artist, you should try and help people one-on-one," Swift told Top of the Pops magazine.

"After the show, we pick fans randomly and they're brought backstage into this amazing tent called Club Red. I go in with about 35 to 40 fans and hear what's going on in their lives - whether someone's picking on them at school or if someone had a party and invited every single girl in the class but them," she added.
